compare to Cade when it came to looks, but he wasn’t a slouch either.
“So, where do we want to do this?” Andrew asked.
Tessa pointed to the spot she had set up and as Andrew walked to the rock she indicated, he pulled off his shirt. She heard Susan gasp and swore she heard her say holy shit. Or maybe those were just the words playing over and over in high definition in Tessa’s mind. Dominick did choose well. Andrew may have an issue with other’s lack of time management, but he was beautiful. Beautiful in the manly sense and he was definitely all male. Tessa shook her head quickly to bring herself into focus. She was here to photograph the doctors, not stand there gaping at them.
“It shouldn’t take too long, just a few pictures should do,” Tessa quickly said trying to sound as professional as she could.
“No problem. Is there a certain pose or anything you want me to do?”
Susan came running up to Tessa and Andrew; she was quick to add her opinion.
“You should probably unbutton your jeans. You know, show just a little bit more, but not too much. Keep us guessing.” She winked at him.
“Susan! I am so sorry Andrew.”
“That’s okay,” Andrew said laughing. “Dominick already told us we’d have to show a little skin for the calendar.”
Just as he said it he un-buttoned his jeans but thankfully left several buttons intact. Susan protested that fact with her eyes. Tessa felt her face flush when she noticed the patch of dark hair that continued from his navel down past his waistband. She was a professional and she would damn well act like it, but she felt like falling to her knees and thanking the gods for such a fine specimen. Pulling herself together she got on with the shoot. It went quickly and Andrew was actually quite pleasant. She had expected some hard ass from Rowan’s assessment of him, but he was very polite and relaxed. The second doctor walked up just as the shoot was complete and Susan pulled Andrew to the side for her questioning. Tessa finished quickly with all the doctors that morning, not wanting to take more time than really needed. She knew Susan would be keeping them as long as she possibly could. She decided to give Cade a call, once she completed the last shoot.. She really couldn’t keep putting him off. Pulling her cell phone from her purse, she saw that she had a message. She quickly retrieved it, hearing Cade’s voice.
Hey Tess, I know you have photo shoots scheduled today, but I was hoping that maybe we could meet for lunch in-between your morning and afternoon appointments. Susan let me know what your schedule was. So, well, just give me a call when you get a chance. I am seeing patients this morning, but will be done by noon. Just give me a call at the office.
Tessa hung up quickly and dialed Cade’s office. She paced back and forth waiting for someone to answer. Kicking at the sand beneath her feet, she glanced over to Susan who sat questioning Robert Adams, a young doctor right out of school. Apparently, Susan had no concerns with his age. She leaned in towards him as if trying to inhale him and he looked absolutely petrified. Poor kid didn’t realize what he had gotten himself in to until it was too late. It made Tessa laugh. Susan definitely could not be accused of being a shy person. Tessa realized at that moment, that even with all her quirky ways, that she really did enjoy Susan’s company and that she had a good heart. She just needed to get laid.
Chapter 7
Tessa let the phone ring several times before giving up on anyone answering at Cade’s office. Apparently, they were either busy or out of the office already. She hung up and started packing up her equipment, deciding she’d swing through a drive thru to grab lunch and head on over to the next site for her afternoon shoots.
